slipping on the road?
Rained a bit today, not that it's anything unsual but a few places on the road today the rear felt like it was slipping a bit. Starting from a red light there was a 1 second stutter, geared into first started up, then 1/4 a second later it wouldn't really move like it was slipping or locked up, then 1 sec later it finally started moving. And couple turns today the rear felt like it was slipping a bit. Given that the suspension's not that great and the road's wet, but the tire's are less than 1/2 a year old so I'm guessing it's the lsd? Anyone?

if it's lasting that short pretty sure there's something wrong with your setup or your driving style, last I checked they still had threads. but the start from red felt like something else, it just wouldn't click, can't quite explain it, but after that it ran fine from stop.

Some tires don't do well in cold conditions. Summer performance tires get hard at low temperatures and don't stick very well. You're probably spinning your tires off the line, be gentler with the clutch and gas (take off slower) and you won't do it so much, or maybe get better tires. What kind of tires are they? Size?
My snow tires SUCK in the wet, they were only a couple years old and I could hardly keep them from spinning out on wet pavement when leaving an intersection at anything but a granny's pace.
There's less traction in the wet anyway, be careful, especially on new pavement or if it hasn't rained in a while, the oils on the road come to the surface when it rains, making it slipprier. Pavement is made from oil, so that's why new pavement is worse, you get more oils coming to the surface.

Heh heh, its' just funny to read about someone other having traction problems when it's winter in here..
I believe that everyone should have the chance to drive on snow, and on the variable conditions of an early finnish winter. With and without winter tyres

just been having a stutter when letting go of the gas, but that's probably just cause all my differentials are shot.

It's already winter in many parts of Canada. My hometown got snow weeks ago, but there's none where I am now, as it's right on the coast, there's hardly ever snow here.
I've driven my FC through a winter in Kamloops, it's educational, lots of hills, a fair bit of snow, but lots of freeze-thaw cycles, so we get lots of ice forming. It definetely teaches you about car control.
